The best Font depository I’ve seen is Font Squirrel. Da Font is good too, but this one seems more tailored to designers and updated more frequently. It also shows most downloaded and popular fonts, so you know what’s really trendy. I’m partial to the Old Style marketing fonts, like “Marketing Script” and “Charis SIL.”
Check out the old style ad I made using fonts from Font Squirrel and the Mad Men stock image for “Lucky Strike cigarettes,” featuring a “physician” enjoying a smooth pack — they’re good on the throat!
FontSquirrel is smooth on your sensibilities too, since searching for “free fonts” can be a warez-like maze of mislinks and lies.
